This is the usual setup - the kernel mounts read-only so the rootfs can be fscked. Then, it's remounted read-write later in the boot process. Based on the comments, overlayroot's checking for ro to preserve other software's assumptions about this sequence. > There is a bunch of discussion: > https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=164015 I'm not familiar with overlayroot, but our package is very out of date. There are many bugfixes since 0.18, and very recent updates for dracut support (which is now used in some of the cloud image builds). I notice that you're listed in the changelog as having contributed - are you able to test a new upstream release? Thanks, Ross
